Anyway You Slice It

Dani’s House of Pizza
81-28 Lefferts Boulevard
Kew Gardens

8 (cheese) + 10 (sauce) + 6 (crust) = 8

Let’s get this out of the way first: not everyone cares for the sauce. The slice at Dani’s is unlike anything else in the city, and its sauce is uniquely sweet (employees wear shirts that say #sweetsauce) and brings a whole different flavor. But this is still classic pizza and as a Kew Gardens mainstay, it deserves its recognition. The cheese is some of the best around. It’s very thick and acts as a good barrier before you get to the sauce. The crust is just fine, as it has a solid amount of flavor and does a good job holding everything together but feels more like a placeholder than anything. It’s unspectacular, but it doesn’t really need to impress with the amount of flavor on top of it.
